The United States is a low-wage nation

I bow to the intellectual superiority of this argument. May I use it in the future? All credit will be given to you as its intellectual creator of course.

It was a question, not an argument. That is why you were so blown away.
 
Let's examine Kennys lil idea for a second.

Suppose the company in question is McDonalds. Are you saying that the wages of the unskilled workers (fry cooks, non-managerial staff, distritution workers, Ect.) should be raised to a level, say of the district manager? Why, when the skill of said manager is far less replaceable than the ultimately dispensable fry cook? That's artificial inflation and ultimately leadds to nothing good.
 
Why should a CEO or major investor pay taxes at a lower rate than the rest of America?
 
I'm happy with the wages that skilled labor produces. It's certainly not my fault that people have chosen unskilled professions.

I am glad you are happy. Half the people who live in your city wish they had a job like you.
I feel bad for you though, in that you don't know the actual value the dollars you accept should have.
If you did, you wouldn't be happy.

Well, again, they want skilled wages for unskilled or obsolete work. But what is this supposed 'real' value? I'm most intrigued.
 
We will get our wages low enough to once again compete in the global marketplace.
We must just stay on the path.
